Songwriter Earl Shuman says Keys&amp;apos; track sounds too similar to his 1962 composition &amp;quot;Lonely Boy,&amp;quot; which hit Number Two on the Billboard charts when recorded by Eddie Holman as &amp;quot;Hey There Lonely Girl.&amp;quot; Shuman became aware of the possible similarities after reading a story by Roger Friedman, a blogger for Showbiz411, that said, &amp;quot;In the middle of the song, Alicia sings a couplet or so from Eddie Holman&amp;apos;s 1970 classic &amp;apos;Hey There Lonely Girl,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; calling it an uncredited sample.\r\nPhotos: Live at Jingle Ball 2012\r\nThough Friedman noted, &amp;quot;Keys only uses two seconds of the original,&amp;quot; Shuman&amp;apos;s complaint says the statements &amp;quot;concerning &amp;apos;two seconds&amp;apos; of use are not accurate&amp;quot; yet &amp;quot;in their essence, apt.&amp;quot; Hear both songs below.\r\n\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
